About

Dr. Yan-chao Liang is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work centers on the surgical treatment of craniofacial pain disorders, with a particular focus on primary trigeminal neuralgia. His major contribution lies in advancing the precision and safety of percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) through the integration of robotic assistance. In his landmark 2022 study, Dr. Liang demonstrated that robot-assisted PBC significantly improves the one-time puncture success rate compared to conventional C-arm-guided techniques, reducing the risk of puncture failure and associated complications. This work, which has garnered 4 citations, provides critical early evidence for the superiority of robotic guidance in this delicate procedure, offering patients a safer, more predictable outcome. By bridging the gap between neurosurgical robotics and pain management, Dr. Liang is helping to set a new standard for minimally invasive interventions in trigeminal neuralgia. His research not only enhances procedural accuracy but also paves the way for broader adoption of robotic systems in functional neurosurgery, making him a key figure in the evolution of image-guided, robot-assisted pain therapies.
